    The Bjørnstad ship from Sarpsborg in Viken in Norway (Norwegian: Bjørnstadskipet) is Northern Europe's largest Bronze Age rock carving with a length of 4.5 m and a height of 1.15 m.

    In Scandinavia, along with small bowls, ships are the objects most frequently picked into rock. This indicates that the boat was central to society. Perhaps the rock was a point where the myth associated with it was cultivated. At the bow and stern there are two (larger and smaller) adoring figures or figures holding up objects. To the side, two smaller ships, about one meter long, are depicted on the rock face.
